I also feel like there is a higher amount of packaging in general, both for takeaway and groceries. I'm looking at you, plastic bags and pastries with plastic trays and second layers of shrink wrap.
Even if you eat in, there's the restaurants that outsource cleaning of tableware, resulting in shrink-wrapped cups, bowls etc. (For the confused westeners, found this picture: https://i1.wp.com/countryandahalf.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_1528.jpg?resize=768%2C576&ssl=1 https://i1.wp.com/countryandahalf.com/wp-content/uploads/201...)

Even if you're shipping dishes offsite for them to be cleaned, there's no real reason why they need to be individually shrinkwrapped. I suspect the reason for the shrinkwrap is to assure customers that the dishes are clean and haven't been contaminated. If that's the reason getting rid of the shrinkwrap is going to be non-trivial, because it's something that customers value very highly.
